Compare:
Review the Quickwrite you did on page 28. Would you react to advice from adults more as Bebe did or more as John Leguizamo did? Why?

Interpret:
John Leguizamo's talk with a teacher was a turning point in his life. Might Bebe's talks with Mama Lil be turning point in her life? Explain.

Imagine: Both the story and the memoir are set in cities. How would the characters be different if the events took place in the suburbs or in the country? Explain.

Speculate:
Do you think John Leguizamo would have listened to Mama Lil's advice? Why or why not?

Evaluate: Would Bebe have gone to the bridge without Mama Lil's consent? Would John Leguizamo be a comedian with out his teacher's words?
